Casa Batlló | Spain

Postcard
Casa Batlló in Barcelona is one of the masterpieces of Gaudi. One could be easlily fooled about the size of this building when looking at the cards I received earlier. Actually a very tall building!

The Legend of Saint George is represented in the design of this building. On the roof the DRAGON‘s back comes alive with the ceramic tiles in the form of scales and the back is pierced by the cross of four arms that evokes Saint George´s triumphant SWORD.

On the top floor we find a flower-shaped balcony alluding to the THE PRINCESS’S BALCONY.

On the lower floors, the remains of the dragon´s victims are located on the balconies in the form of SKULLS and the pillars of the gallery that resemble the BONES.
